Welcome to the wanderings of Shay and Rahul
We are two adventurous souls with a penchant for chasing light. Wanderlust is our middle name but we never make any bucket lists. Whether it's camping or staying at a boutique hotel, where we stay is dependent on the location for their views and proximity to the activities that we are interested in doing. Weeklong trips are our preferred trips as it gives us a chance to explore the region. It is a transformative odyssey that nourishes our mind, body and spirit so that we can get back to planning for the next one. We love the grind of trip planning just as much as the trip itself as it is not merely a means to an end but also an enjoyable journey to educate ourselves about the history and culture of our destinations and the wonders it has to offer with change of season.
We dream of being in every corner of the world to collect all the must see and the hidden wonder this planet has to offer.We can’t believe that our hearts can be broken into pieces to leave them in many corners of the world but still be so full and content.
Happy Wandering! Stay Wonderstruck!
Weeklong Wanders
